I think this is accurate, a big chunk of the vote seems to be "my bills/food/rent went up when Blue in office, Red says they _will_ fix it, so let's try Red" Of course not statistical, but seems to be a large trend

The era of having startup founders both immediately accessible on social platforms (X/Twitter, Discord, etc.) and overly willing to share their opinions is a messy one. It's hard enough in a small startup to prevent CEO "comm

Just a bit of feedback: The first job I saw on the page proclaimed "48 tech stacks" which immediately horrified me. That is, until I clicked on it and realized it's 48 different pieces of tech used at the company; including M

It's not entirely obvious from OP's link, but it appears this offering is from 2005 or earlier (see this page listed in the "News" section: http://www.biyubi.com/computadora.html )

I'm not sure where you have this impression from, but I can assure you that in many non-urban areas getting fiber (hikari) is a non-option. Many folks resort to LTE or WiMax to compensate, which has poor performance in general and even

Nothing the previous poster says implies that they are okay with wasting energy in other ways and it in no way diminishes the fact that Bitcoin (and other PoW cryptocurrencies) use a _lot_ of energy.

I generally agree on not choosing dividend stocks (a solid ETF can include a reasonable dividend payout, which feels more like a bonus), but just a note that the tax rate on qualified dividends is the same as long term capital gains (0%, 15

In addition to the alternatives others have mentioned, the author of `scoop` also has a package available for `scoop` named `sudo`, described as "An approximation of the Unix sudo command. Shows a UAC popup window unfortunately."

I'm not sure why the downvotes (or at least I don't think they're warranted). I love the project, but the name is ridiculous and honestly makes it a tough sell to bring in new members to the community. It's simply initia

The pricing ($12/mo) is rather steep compared to other productivity/planning/todo apps on the market (Trello @ $0, TickTick @ $2.79, Any.do & Todoist @ ~$3, etc.). While this product looks great and I'd generally thi

Semantics for sure, but while value is perhaps represented by currency by what people are willing to pay and sell for. Others have different metrics for determining value -- "value investors", for example, measure the "value&

It's more difficult to wrap our heads around, but stocks face "value inflation" much like currencies do. You can think of stocks similar to a currency exchange to the extent that as money gets pumped into one side (in this ca

I'm not sure why you cite Japan as an outlier regarding size preferences and smaller-than-average hand sizes, which I generally do not believe to be true and could not find any hard data to cite (source: I live there). Regardless, the

Agreed, I think looking at the Python 2 and 3 migration catastrophe gives a glimpse into what this could look like, but I imagine it would be much worse given the types of (large) projects that are backed by substantially "dated"

I couldn't gleam this information easily from the article, but I presume these surveys were given to each age group at the same time. If that's correct, couldn't age (specifically life experience) play a large factor in the r

It's not clear by this comment if you live in Japan, but if you do, it's quite common to have a hanko even for foreign names (custom made, of course, ~￥1000+). If you live in the US, signature seals are quite uncommon but probably

I guess this phone/tablet is not intended to be used for video calls at all given how the camera hides on the back of the device in both use cases?
